stl files on a web page?

I've seen non html documents linked to from a web page. Usually I can click on the link and a file is downloaded to my drive where I can open it with the correct application.

Would I have better luck if I used one of these?



Another annoying thing: When building the objects in Form Z I used millimeters for units. But the .stl files have inches for units.



The attempts to link to .stl files are at:

Have you tried "Save target as..."?

Is that an option in Fetch (I have version 4.02)? If so how do I do that?

Thnx

I don't know anything about Fetch.

Right clicking on a link should bring up a men, one of the items should be something like "Save target as...". Try that out, if you have it available.

Yes, that seems to work. (On the Mac I just keep the mouse button held down instead of right clicking).
